[ExI] Unfrendly AI is a mistaken idea.

[Lee Corbin]

I thought of a better analogy.  Regarding an extremely advanced AI, we
can hope that the human race becomes to it  as an old photograph is to us,
one merely kept around for sentimental reasons.

For just as you might keep a photograph of your great great grandfather,
so might an AI (friendly or not) wish to maintain an infinitesimal record of
its progenitors.
